I Vision  of  Columbus 


“The  pilot  smote  his  breast ; the  watchman  cried 
‘Land !’  and  his  voice  in  faltering  accents  died. 

At  once  the  fury  of  the  crew  was  quelled ; 

And  (whence  or  why  from  many  an  age  withheld) 
Shrieks,  not  of  men,  were  mingling  in  the  blast ; 

And  armed  shapes  of  god-like  stature  passed ! 

Slowly  along  the  evening  sky  they  went. 

As  on  the  edge  of  some  vast  battlement : 

Helmet  and  shield,  and  spear  and  gonfalon. 

Streaming  a baleful  light  that  was  not  of  the  sun  !”

‘‘Before  his  wife  left  him,  he  took  her  by  the  hand,  and 
said:  ‘This  hand  you  now  feel,  in  a few  hours  must  be  cold.’ 
At  ten  p.  m.  she  left  him  ; and  she  so  governed  her  sorrow  as 
not  to  add,  by  the  sight  of  her  distress,  to  the  pain  of  separa- 
tion. Thus  they  parted,  not  with  sobs  and  tears,  but  with  a 
composed  silence,  each  wishing  to  spare  the  other,  and  restrain- 
ing the  expression  of  a grief  too  great  to  be  relieved  by  utter-

That,  whiles  \'erona  by  that  name  is  known. 
There  shall  no  figure  at  such  rate  be  set,

Go  hence,  to  have  more  talk  of  these  sad  thinsg: 

Some  shall  be  pardon'd,  and  some  punished. 

For  never  was  a story  of  more  woe.

CHRISTIAN  SCHUESSELE 


23  Dr.  Benjamin  Franklin  Before  the  Privy  Council 
in  London,  January  29,  1773 


"A  personal  animosit}'  between  Goverrior  Bernard,  Lieu- 
tenant-Governor Hutchinson,  and  some  distinguished  patriots 
of  Massachusetts,  contributed  to  perpetuate  a flame  of  discon- 
tent in  that  Province,  though  elsewhere  it  had  abated.  This 
was  worked  up,  in  1773,  to  a high  pitch  by  a singular  combina- 
tion of  circumstances.  Letters  had  been  wudtten  by  Llutchin- 
son,  Peter  Olit  er,  the  Chief-Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court,  and 
others,  to  persons  in  power  and  office  in  England,  which 
contained  a very  unfavorable  representation  of  public  affairs. 
These  letters  came  into  the  hands  of  Dr.  Franklin,  who  was 
then  the  agent  of  the  Colon}^  of  Massachusetts,  in  London,  and 
they  were  transmitted  by  him  to  his  constituents.  Great  indig- 
nation was  excited  on  their  perusal.  The  House  of  Represen- 
tatives drew  up  and  sent  a petition  to  his  Majesty,  in  which 
they  charged  their  Governor  and  Lieutenant-Governor  with 
being  betra^'ers  of  their  trust,  and  of  giving  private,  partial, 
and  false  information.  They  declared  them  enemies  to  the 
Colonies,  and  prayed  for  justice  against  them,  and  their  speedj^ 
removal  from  office.  The  merits  of  this  petition  were  discussed 
before  his  Majesty’s  Priv}'  Council.  After  a hearing,  in  which 
Dr.  Franklin  represented  the  Province  of  Massachusetts,  the 
Governor  and  Lieutenant-Governor  w'ere  acquitted.  Mr.  Wed- 
derburne  (afterwards  Lord  Loughborough),  wdio  defended  the 
accused  royal  servants,  inveighed  against  Dr.  Franklin  in  the 
severest  language  as  the  fomenter  of  disputes  between  the  tw^o 
countries.  It  was  no  protection  to  this  venerable  sage,  that, 
being  the  agent  of  Massachusetts,  he  conceived  it  his  duty  to 
inform  his  constituents  of  letters  written  on  public  affairs  cal- 
culated to  overturn  their  chartered  constitution.  The  philippic 
of  Wedderburne  turned  mainly  upon  the  mode  in  which  Dr. 
Franklin  had  obtained  these  letters. 


" ‘These  letters  could  not,'  said  Mr.  Wedderburne,  ‘have 
come  into  Dr.  Franklin’s  hands  by  fair  means.  Nothing  will 
acquit  him  of  having  obtained  them  by  fraudulent  or  corrupt 
means  for  the  most  malignant  purposes.  I hope,  my  Lords, 
you  will  mark  and  brand  the  man  for  the  honor  of  this  country, 
of  Europe,  and  of  mankind.  Private  correspondence  has  hith- 
erto been  held  sacred  in  times  of  the  great  part}^  rage,  not  only 


24 


in  politics,  but  religion.  He  has  forfeited  all  the  respect  of 
societies  and  of  men.  Into  what  companies  will  he  hereafter 
go  with  an  unembarrassed  face  or  the  honest  intrepidity  of 
virtue?  Men  will  watch  him  with  a jealous  eye;  they  will  hide 
their  papers  from  him,  and  lock  up  their  escritories.’  And 
much  more  of  the  same  strain  of  vulgar  abuse,  all  of  which 
I'ranklin  bore  ‘without  the  least  apparent  emotion.’ 

"These  pleadings  for  a time  worked  great  effects.  Dr. 
l''ranklin  was  dismissed  from  his  Deputy  Postmastership  in 
America,  and  Mr.  AVedderburne  placed  himself  on  the  road  to 
high  advancement  which  he  sought,  and  with  which  he  was 
rewarded.  The  insult  offered  to  one  of  their  public  agents, 
and  especially  to  one  who  was  both  the  idol  and  ornament  of 
his  countiT,  sunk  deep  into  the  minds  of  the  Americans. 

"The  next  morning  after  the  meeting  of  the  Privy  Council, 
Dr.  Priestly  breakfasted  with  Dr.  Franklin,  when  he  said:  ‘He 
had  never  before  been  so  sensilile  of  the  power  of  a good  con- 
science ; for  that  if  he  had  not  considered  the  thing  for  which 
he  had  been  so  much  insulted  as  one  of  the  best  actions  of  his 
life,  and  what  he  should  certainly  do  again  in  the  same  cir- 
cumstances, he  could  not  hate  supported  it.’  He  was  accused 
of  clandestinely  procuring  certain  letters,  and  of  sending  them 
to  .America,  with  a view  to  excite  animosity  against  the  gov- 
ernor and  others,  and  thus  to  embroil  the  two  countries.  But 
he  assured  Dr.  Priestly  that  ‘he  did  not  even  know  that  such 
letters  e.xisted  until  they  were  brought  to  him  as  agent  for  the 
Colony,  in  order  to  be  sent  to  his  constituents;  and  the  cover 
of  the  letters  on  which  the  directions  had  been  written  having- 
been  lost,  he  only  guessed  at  the  person  to  whom  they  were 
addressed  by  their  contents.’  ”

28  Portrait  of  Franklin.  (Painted  a few  days  before 
his  death.) 

Copy  of  a letter,  from  Rembrandt  Peale  to  present  owner 
of  the  portrait,  dated  June  loth,  1859. 

“The  portrait  of  Franklin  which  you  bought  at  the  sale  of 
the  Peale  Gallery,  was  painted  by  my  father  in  the  year  1790. 

It  was  only  one  sitting.  I accompanied  ni}-  father  to  engage 
him  for  another  to  finish  it.  We  found  him  sitting  up  in  his 
bed-room,  in  much  pain,  with  the  sad  conviction  that  he  should 
never  leave  it.  Yet  the  resigned  expression  of  his  venerable 
countenance,  and  his  noble  patriarchal  head,  from  which  flowed 
ample  locks  of  gray  hair  on  his  shoulders,  impressed  me  with 
unspeakable  reverence. 

“He  died  ten  days  after  this.  I was  among  the  multitude 
that  attended  his  funeral  at  the  corner  of  Arch  and  Fifth 
streets.  I sat  on  the  wall  directly  over  the  grave — and  the 
solemn  sound  of  the  earth,  as  it  fell  on  the  coffin,  to  hide  him 
forever  from  sight,  vibrated  in  my  heart.  I was  absorbed  in 
melancholy  reverie  as  it  became  dark,  and  when  I raised  my 
eyes,  the  crowd  of  twent}"  thousand  persons  had,  to  me  uncon- 
sciously, dispersed,  I decended  from  mj-  solitary  seat — I felt 
sick  and  went  home,  silent  and  supperless  to  bed. 


“As  connected  with  my  authentication  of  this  portrait.  I 
narrate  this  extraordinary  excitement  of  the  Artist  Boy."

GILl’.ERT  STUART 


30  Portrait  of  Washington 


'chased  from  the  late  tt'illiam  A'aughan,  Esq.,  London. 


On  the  l)ack  of  the  canvas  is  written.  “General  Washington, 
by  Ur.  Stuart.” 

Extract  from  Rembrandt  Peak's  Lecture  on  the  Portraits 
of  U'ashington  : 

"Ur.  Stuart's  Urst  portrait  of  U’ashington  \Yas  painted 
simultaneously  with  mine,  in  September,  1795.  From  this  por- 
trait he  made  fi\'e  copies : but.  becoming  dissatisfied  with  it. 
some  years  afterward  sold  it  for  two  hundred  dollars  to  Win- 
stanle}',  the  landscape  painter.  Of  this  I was  informed  by  Dr. 
Thornton,  in  Washington,  soon  after  its  .occurrence,  so  that  it 
was  not  literally  rubbed  out.  as  has  been  supposed.  Winstanley 
took  it  to  London,  where  it  was  bought  by  Ur.  U'illiam 
Vaughan,  and  it  is  now  in  the  possession  of  Joseph  Harrison. 
Jr.,  of  Philadelphia,  who  has  permitted  me  to  copy  it.  Although 
this  portrait  was  not  satisfactory  to  iUr.  Stuart,  yet  I think  in 
the  lower  portion  of  the  face  it  has  the  advantage  over  the  por- 
trait he  afterwards  painted.  A small  copy  of  it  I have  seen  in

3oa  Letter  from  Rembrandt  Peale  to  Joseph  Harri- 
son, Esq.,  written  February  i6,  1859,  with 
reference  to  above  Portrait,  No.  30 


Philad.\.  Feb.  16.  1859, 

Dear  Sir  : 

In  the  minute  examination  which  was  necessary  in  making 
a correct  copy  of  your  Washington,  1 was  the  more  convinced 
of  the  truth  of  my  impression,  that  it  is  the  first  original  Por- 
trait painted  by  Stuart,  in  September  1795,  at  the  same  time 
that  Washington  sat  to  me.  After  making  five  copies  of  it, 
Mr.  .Stuart  sold  it  to  Winstanley  the  Landscape  Painter,  who 
took  it  to  England,  and  doubtless  sold  it  to  Wm.  Vaughan, 
from  whose  Nephew  you  bought  it.  In  the  Gilmore  Collection 
is  an  e.xcellent  small  copy  of  it  by  J.  House,  certified  on  the 
back  as  made  from  Stuart's  first  Portrait.  I have  also  seen 
a fine  cop}^  on  Ivory  by  Field. 

Respectfully  yours, 

(Signed)  Rembrandt  Peale 

J.  Harrison,  Esq.

Gloster.  The  trick  of  that  voice  I do  well  remember. 

Is't  not  the  king? 

Lear.  Ay,  every  inch  a king ; 

When  I do  stare,  see  how  the  subject  quakes.

"Times  grow  worse  and  worse  with  Rip  Van  Winkle  as 
years  of  matrimony  roll  on.  A tart  temper  never  mellows  with 
age,  and  a sharp  tongue  is  the  only  edge  tool  that  grows  keen 
with  use.  For  a long  while  he  used  to  console  himself  when 
driven  from  home  by  frequenting  a kind  of  perpetual  club  of 
(he  sages  and  philosophers.”

EDWARD  S.  BARTHOLMEW 

46  Eve  Repentant 

"Oh ! poet-heart,  that  from  the  senseless  marble 
This  dream  of  beauty  and  perfection  wrought — 

What  shapes  divine ! what  rare,  celestial  beauty 
Tlw  soul  hath  mirrored  to  conceive  this  thought ! 

Through  the  rich  chambers  of  thy  glowing  fancy 
Moved  fairer  forms,  with  more  of  queenly  grace  ! 

But  thy  true  genius  seized  the  perfect  woman — 

The  first  fair  mother  of  an  exiled  race. 

No  need  to  tell  us  here  the  old-tiiiic  story; 

E’en  while  we  gaze  the  unbidden  tears  will  start — • 

The  electric  truth  prisoned  within  the  marble 
Thrills  at  a glance  the  appreciative  heart. 

Fair  type  of  erring  womanhood  repentant ! 

Bid  the  censorious  world  draw  near  and  tell, 

When  its  harsh  code  condemns  thy  weaker  children, 

‘Fresh  from  the  hands  of  God  I sinned  and  fell.’" 

From  the  “Home  Journal."
